Tag: Massive transfusion

In the U.S., nearly 6,500 units of plasma are needed daily to treat a range of conditions. Deciding *when should plasma be administered* is a critical clinical judgment based on specific patient needs and bleeding risks.

Over 14 million units of whole blood and red blood cells are transfused in the United States every year, making a clear and adhered-to blood transfusion protocol essential for patient safety. This standardized, multi-step process ensures compatibility and minimizes the risk of life-threatening complications associated with transfusing blood products.
